Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom

I can hardly wait!!!
I've got a Graham Phantom being instaled in a new TW Acustic Raven One.
I know many of you have Graham Phantoms on superb tables.
What are the awe inspiring matches for the Phantom???
I listen to Classic Rock, Classical, LOTS of vocals, organ, choral.....in other words, a bit of everything. My priorities are musicality, recreation of the recording venue, soundstaging, musical emotion, beautiful harmonies, and NOT microscopic detail. The rest of my system has resolution in spades........Wilson Sophias, Audio research Mono Blocs etc.
So what is the final piece in this system? Give me your best choices.

Thanks,

JIm

In my experience, nothing beats the ZYX Universe .24 Copper.
One of the truly enlightening changes to any system.
The Dynavector DV1s is no slouch either but lacks the last vestige of transparent emotion of the ZYX.
Don't touch the Lyra Titani unless your system sounds dull.
The Lyra Helikon is better value or the Lyra Skala (which I haven't heard).
The Clearaudio range is not a patch on the ZYX and I haven't heard a Koetsu that didn't induce boredom, sleep or both.
More to discover
